Deinandra mohavensis
Also called Mojave Tarplant
Mojave tarweed is a yellow-flowered annual herb native to California's Mojave Desert and nearby ranges, found in moist chaparral and riparian sites. It is a wild species rather than a commonly grown garden plant, so care notes are general guidance for cultivation.
